apegs Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 I have been using the typical knot for my braid where you twist it and go through two loops.( i don't know the name of this knot) I'm pretty sure this is a knot for mono or other similar lines. Also I noticed that on my braided line when I get stuck on a dock I can pull the line from the hook if I pull hard enough. I would hate for this to happen with a monster on the line so what is a proper knot for braided line? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bass Whacker Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 I use the same knot with braid with no issues make sure you wet the line before pulling tight it helps the line tighten down on its self better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DTro Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 Palomar is what you want to use with braided line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bassmann77 Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 Palomar is the only knot one should use for braid line. If you search the net, there is a video that shows the knot strength of all the knots that are used for fishing. The palomar knot had the strongest hold of all knots on braided line.

jwhjr Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 Palomar is what I use as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonkaBass Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 Palomar here too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptZ21 Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 I think you were describing the improve clinch or is it cinch knot with the wraps and two loops. I use the Palomar also, but tend to use it for both braid and flouro. Not sure if it is best for flouro but I have never had a problem with it. Only real other knot I use is the double uni for leaders and mating different lines together. Way this year is going for me so far, might not need a hook to tie on! Hope all this bad luck goes somewhere else soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonkaBass Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 I use the blood for two lines, but I want to try the san diego? for drop shotting and stuff... I haven't had an issue with the palomar, but wonder if this new knot is better... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craigums Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 This is the Palomar and exactly what you should be using. But be careful this knot plus braid is probable stronger than any Avid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cecil Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 I use a double clinch knot for braid. Works GREAT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
